This sounds valuable, but there was recent discussion around the
O_REGULAR flag that said that we shouldn't be adding new flags to older
syscalls [1]. Should this only be an OPENAT2_* flag instead?

I do like restricting it to openat2() as well.

So would you want to filter the O_EMPTY_PATH flag from openat(), or maybe add
a RESOLVE_EMPTY flag to the resolve options?
Thanks,
Jori.

No, add a OPENAT2_EMPTY_PATH in the upper 32 bit of the 64-bit flag
argument for struct open_how. Then it cannot be used in openat(). But
let's wait a day or so to see whether we have someone that really wants
to extend this to openat() as well...

What do you want the fd for?
There are good reasons for wanting an fd for a directory that you don't
have access permissions for, but what is the use case for a file?
It all gets very close to letting you do things that the 'security model'
should reject.
